[10/30/2005]   As you may or may not know, my dad takes Halloween very seriously most of the time, so it's pretty interesting visiting him this time of year. Dry ice, balloons, those weird shaking witch thingies - he goes all out. Oh, and lots and lots of candy of course. It's quite interesting to be a part of, especially in the last few years. Ironically, the one thing we're missing is a carved pumpkin. We have lots of mini pumpkins and pumpkin pies, but not carved pumpkin yet. Did you know pumpkins are a fruit? That kind of throws a wrench into Super Mario 2, doesn't it? Er, anyway, where was I? Reviews! Lots more staff reviews this week, and more reader reviews of course. Baten Kaitos seems to be the popular choice this week though. Lots of new reviewers this week too, so be sure to wish them a warm hello.

   Once again, it's time for contest news. There are only about two months left of the contest and the staff have taken an even larger lead. As always, you can watch the progress of both teams on this page. Things are really starting to heat up now as we approach the deadline.

   Until next week...
